Mis-alighned indusction chamber

I have a 14 16 year old Ruud furnace. At the end of the heating cycle, after the gas has been turned off, there is a squeaking noise like metal is rubbing (I though metal as it cooled). It was behind the panel that the inductor fan is mounted to, so I removed the induction fan to see if that was the cause. What I noticed was that the inner chamber to the induction fan was mis-aligned and was offset by a couple of inches. I would assume this is not good as it probably means the heating elements may be damaged. Is this a serious problem? can it be fixed by a hand homeowner like myself? does it point to a bigger problem?

Thanks,
